  1. Re:Upgraders from the old IPhone on Apple Cracks Down On iPhone Unlockers · · Score: 1

    No, they've already said that users of the old iPhone can get in with a new 2 year contract. In the US at least. Meaning an extension of 1 year from the original date of purchase. The contract was always 24 months in the US anyway. I have no idea about the UK, but I can't imagine that they would turn away people who wanted to give them more money.

  2. Re:Contract Cancelation on Apple Cracks Down On iPhone Unlockers · · Score: 1

    the fact that the cancelation clause in the contract probably also requires returning the phone?

    Those meters are neat. But when my dad discovered the one in our buick he nearly wrecked us multiple times watching it instead of the road.

    I didn't realize Lawrence Lessig was that old.

    Well, when they come for you, what are you going to do? Post on /., duh
  6. Re:Self-replicating? Not by a long shot on Machine Prints 3D Copies Of Itself · · Score: 1

    Something tells me that while we could probably compile everythign together to do that, it wouldn't be worth it other than to say we did it.

  7. Re:...but Hillary still won't leave. on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 1

    Pretty much yeah, the only way she can win now is by convincing enough superdelegates to change sides. That could happen, but the writing has been on the wall for a while now and she won't back down, meaning to me at least its less about the politics and more about her.

  8. Re:People don't learn from history on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 1

    That doesn't surprise me. Hillary did better w/ the Core Democrats, Obama with those that matter :)

  9. Re:People don't learn from history on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 1

    The interesting thing would be to see if those "battleground" states that Hillary won were open or closed primarys. It doesn't mean a thing in teh general election if she won where the primary was only open to democrats.

  10. Re:GamePolitics motivated by bigotry? on Texas Governor As E3 Keynote Speaker Causes Strife · · Score: 1

    Exactly, if he was muslim and said "There is no God but God" would we be having this discussion? (yes, but it'd be we can't have TERRORISTS at E3! what would it do to Battlefield sales!?!)

  11. Re:...but Hillary still won't leave. on Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination · · Score: 1

    She won't take the VP spot. If she doesn't, Obama has a harder time of winning, meaning she can probably run again in 2012. If she takes it she can't run again until 2016, as Obama would probably win then.

  12. Re:Author may actually understand.... on GPLv3's Implications Hitting Home For Lawyers · · Score: 1

    I wish I had mod points. Lawyers are advocates for their clients. Any lawyer worth their salt is going to try and anticipate those areas of the law that may cause problems for their clients in the future.

  13. Re:crying over presents on GPLv3's Implications Hitting Home For Lawyers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I believe that is the exact point the article is trying to make. Businesses may be too keen to think "hey its free! lets use it" without considering the future ramifications that their decisions may have.

    So you're saying Microsoft is God?

    If somebody's looking for something encrypted data is something. With this method, there isn't anything to find, unless I'm totally misunderstanding it.

  16. Re:Ninth Amendment on P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Yes, but my point is that just because the constitution DOESN'T say we have something, doesn't mean that we DO have it. As you say, the vetting process for that determination is still taking place.

  17. Re:Ninth Amendment on P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Yes, then were do we get that right? Just because the Constitution doesn't specifically say we have a right, doesn't mean we automatically do have it.

  18. Re:Yes. What's unconstituional on P2P BitTorrent Tool Could Replace Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Doesn't matter, those rights exist and as such we have more than those that are specifically enumerate in the Constitution. Where in the Constitution does it enumerate a right to privacy?

    Yes, a rectangle designed to make you buy a new guitar when your GH3 guitar will work perfectly well

  22. Re:The streak continues. on Early Review Calls New Indiana Jones Film Dreadful · · Score: 1

    I think he was comparing it to Lucas' other trilogy that got updated. Which doesn't count because Empire was better than New Hope, but Temple of Doom was not better than raiders of the lost ark.

    If you were in elementary school while the Apple II reigned supreme, you probably played those games.

  25. Re:This makes me happy on Neal Stephenson Returns with "Anathem" · · Score: 1

    I've read Snow Crash, and didn't have a problem with its ending, it just stopped. Same thing happened with the Cryptonomicon. But yeah, you don't read Stephenson for his endings. The things he writes in getting to that drop off point are why I like fiction. Often times I don't really care about what's happening with the plot or the characters, but just want another description of what's around the corner. He's great at weaving a plot into those types of details.
